Section 3: Adjustments (4)
Zhuang Jihua carefully thought about Liu Wenhui's activities in recent years, Liu Wenhui has been digging gold everywhere in Xikang in order to restore his strength in recent years, and then purchased a large number of weapons and equipment from Yucheng, which is enough to equip a Type B army, so his strength has become very strong.
"My dad was a restless man." Liu Xiang's words suddenly popped out of the depths of his mind, and Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but wonder if Liu Wenhui wanted to stretch out his hand to northern Yunnan.
"Cultural Revolution, do you think the development of this matter will affect our work in Panzhihua?" Li Zhilong asked worriedly.
Zhuang Jihua shook his head slightly, he didn't think that Long Yun would reach out to Panzhihua, but Panzhihua was too close to Yunnan, and he came over with a slight swing of his legs.
There was a long bell outside the window, it was the students of the cadre school who had finished class, Li Zhilong walked to the window, looked at the students playing on the field, and couldn't help sighing: "When I see them, I think of us back then, and we are also such young people who don't know what it feels like to be sad." ”
"What do you feel, you weren't a teenager at that time," Zhuang Jihua stood up and held a cup, and walked to the window: "This describes me and Meng Guo as much as the same, you are already Borodin's translator, and you are still a young man who doesn't know what it feels like to be sad, so blush." ”
"It's the same," a trace of pain flashed in Li Zhilong's eyes: "Life is unpredictable, in fact, this is not true, when people are at the lower levels of society, their understanding of society is one-sided and simple, which has nothing to do with people's age." When a worker goes home from work every day, even if he reaches the age of eighty, his understanding of society is that of a factory. Only people in high positions can feel the unpredictability of the social situation, and their bodies and minds are exhausted with the understanding of society. Cultural Revolution, to be honest, what I admire most about you is that you have a free and easy beyond ordinary people, and you regard power and wealth as dust, behind your playful playing, but it is a vision and mind that penetrates the vicissitudes of life, I really don't know where your vision comes from, it seems to be innate, and others can't learn it. ”
Zhuang Jihua smiled faintly and bitterly: "I'm a little fluttering, in fact, how can there be so many things, I still say the same thing, go with your heart, don't go against your heart, just believe in yourself." ”
Li Zhilong turned his head to look at him, and suddenly smiled, this is Zhuang Jihua, no matter what he says, he hides himself well, if he doesn't want to say it, no one can pry it out of his mouth.
"Cultural Revolution, these boys are too relaxed, they don't know how many vegetables they have, I want to put some of them in Panzhihua." Li Zhilong said.
"In Tian, it's better for you to preserve your essence, you haven't learned the humor of Zhuang's style yet." Zhuang Jihua smiled slightly: "You want to increase the number of troops for Panzhihua, right?" ”
Li Zhilong nodded, Zhuang Jihua thought about it and said: "This is a bad decision, there are too many soldiers, Long Yun will think that this is an action against him, and our difficulty is that the transportation route is too long and the logistics support is difficult." But there are fewer soldiers, and there is no way to deter Long Yun, I heard that Long Yun's surname is stubborn, and he has a kind of momentum of not hitting the south wall and not looking back, his temper is about to come up, I am afraid that he will kill Panzhihua. ”
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, there has to be a solution." Li Zhilong said helplessly: "Besides, most of the officers and soldiers in this unit have not gone through actual combat, except for the hundreds of people who have participated in the Great Wall War of Resistance, the rest are farmers. ”
Zhuang Jihua was a little shaken in his heart, the situation over there is very complicated now, don't look at Liu Wenhui's current momentum, but Long Yun reacted, Liu Wenhui was about to fail, and then it was up to Long Yun, if he Long Yun insisted on entering Panzhihua, he would inevitably clash with the development team, and at that time, a regiment could not stop it.
"Okay, transfer two more regiments over, make up a brigade, let Fan Hanjie lead the team, and ......, in the name of inspecting the mining industry in Xichang, arrange a regiment in Xichang, and say that it is an advance team to the outside world."
This is already the biggest precaution that can be made at present, Li Zhilong nodded and raised his legs and walked out, and after taking two steps, he turned around and said: "Oh, by the way, the Ministry of Military Affairs urged 20,000 medium and formal rifles, 1,000 light machine guns, 600 heavy machine guns, and various guns, enough to equip two divisions, give?" ”
"If you give money, you will give it, and if you don't give money, you will not give it," Zhuang Jihua did not hesitate at all.
"You money fan," Li Zhilong scolded with a smile, "I mean, if you want to go to war, these things are given, and the inventory will be empty." ”
"Oh," Zhuang Jihua remembered, and he couldn't help laughing: "Then give two-thirds, tell them, and give the rest next quarter." ”
While Zhuang Jihua and Li Zhilong were preparing for the response in the base office, Liu Wenhui, chief of staff Wang Jingyu, and Chen Guangzao, commander of the 136th Division, were also discussing nervously in the military headquarters of the 24th Army in Ya'an.
"Army commander, Yuantang was exposed too early, failed to give Sun Du a fatal blow, and when he reacted, he had 30,000 people in his hands, and Kunming could be reinforced at any time, and Yuantang's troops were insufficient." Chen Guangzao said with some complaints that he was captured in the Second Liu War and was released after the armistice, and Liu Wenhui still trusted him and appointed him as the commander of the main division. But Erliu's battle taught him too deep a lesson, so he didn't have so much confidence in this plan.
The smooth development of the situation did not make Liu Wenhui happy in his heart. After the defeat in the Second Liu War, he didn't want to make a comeback, but with the gradual advancement of the development of the southwest, he found that the recapture of Sichuan became more and more slim, Zhuang Jihua's influence on all walks of life in Sichuan was getting bigger and bigger, and he would never allow himself to return to the political center of Sichuan, and the political balance in Sichuan he designed was the triangular balance of Liu Xiang, Deng Tianyang and others, so he began to put his mind on Yunnan.
However, he could not directly attack Yunnan, so he secretly took advantage of the contradictions between the Yi people to encourage his family to take revenge on the Jin family. But now Liu Yuantang rushed directly to the front line, completely exposing his intentions.
"Brother Hongwen is right," Chief of Staff Wang Jingyu also echoed: "Liu Yuantang should not rush directly to the front line, even if he wants to rush over, he should give Sun Du a bigger blow." ”
"Let's not talk about him for a while," Liu Wenhu was a little irritable in his heart, of course he knew that there was a gap between his strength and Long Yun, but the equipment of weapons and ammunition in the past two years had improved his self-confidence, and the young officers who graduated from the Yucheng Officer Training Corps showed extremely strong combat effectiveness, and they raised the combat effectiveness of the 24th Army to a new level, so he felt that he could wrestle with Long Yun, what he wanted was very limited, only a few barren counties in northern Yunnan: "Do you say that it is reinforcement or retreat now?" ”
"Retreat." Wang Jingyu and Chen Guangzao said almost in unison: "While you can still retreat now, let Liu Yuantang retreat to the border of Sichuan immediately." ”
Hearing their answers, Liu Wenhui felt a burst of disappointment, in the past few years, he had spent so much money to buy equipment, and did his best to restore the strength of the troops, the purpose was to expand the territory, otherwise he would have done so much, but now he hadn't fought much, and the two cronies let him retreat.
"Let's wait and see." Liu Wenhui said noncommittally.
"Can't wait," Chen Guangzao was a veteran after all, he shook his head and said: "Either immediate reinforcements, or immediate retreat, and when Long Yun sends reinforcements from Kunming, then it will be too late." ”
"I see this, immediately withdraw the army, and call Long Yun separately, stating that it was a misunderstanding, but that the general would accept bribes from his own family and act without authorization, and we have ordered them to return to Sichuan." Wang Jingyu added.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat, you know to retreat, this retreat will completely lose the morale of the army." Liu Wenhui couldn't help but shouted: "What have we been doing in the past few years, recruiting troops, buying weapons, what are we for, we are about to retreat just after we win, what will the brothers below think, fight a dozen, take a look." ”
Wang Jingyu and Chen Guangzao glanced at each other, knowing that Liu Wenhui was in a dilemma now, and he was emotionally eager to win, but reason told him that it was difficult to win this battle; But he still wanted to try, he had been in Xikang for too long, a place where birds don't, and the burning fire in his heart had burned him to ashes, so he wanted to take a risk, even though he knew he was taking a risk.
"Report, Yucheng Zhuang Jihua called." The staff officer came in and reported.
"Read."
"I was shocked to hear that Huili's own family and the Jin family in Yunnan Province were in trouble, which has caused unrest in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, and the local garrison should calm down the situation as soon as possible and restore the quiet situation in the region!!
"Damn, this rabbit cub is getting longer and longer." Chen Guangzao scolded hatefully, soon after he came back, he heard that the reason for Liu Wenhui's defeat was that it was Zhuang Jihua who poached their general, so this person immediately became the object of his resentment.
"What kind of area is restless, he is worried about the development of Panzhihua, as well as his precious experts and scholars." Wang Jingyu immediately exposed Zhuang Jihua's purpose.
"Do you think you can bring Zhuang Jihua in?" Liu Wenhui suddenly asked, this is what he just thought, Zhuang Jihua has invested a lot of resources in the Panzhihua area, if Long Yun is allowed to enter Sichuan, he must fight for these things first.
It's really whimsical, Chen Guangzao couldn't help but glance at Wang Jingyu, Wang Jingyu interjected: "If the Zhuang Cultural Revolution is involved, won't Chiang Kai-shek take it directly?" ”
Liu Wenhui didn't seem to hear it, he was stunned by this idea, Zhuang Jihua has strong strength in his hands, if he intervenes, the victory will be seven points certain.
"Immediately send a telegram to Long Yun and tell him what we just meant." The gloom on Liu Wenhui's face was swept away.
"Fart, what is Sun Du doing? Shame on being defeated by a little hairy boy! Long Yun said disdainfully in the office: "Order him to persuade me to take Lu back, otherwise military law will be engaged!" Don't blame me for being unkind when the time comes. ”
